Playbook: “Trump has spent the last year controlling the narrative. He’s lost it. Oh, and by the way, Trump is about to face a new normal. He spent the year worrying about crowd sizes and rallies. That delivered him the presidency. But now a single senator could stymie his plans. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said yesterday that he would do anything in his power to stop John Bolton from being secretary of state. All he has to do is place a hold on his nomination, and Trump has to grovel to his former rival. And this isn’t even coming from Democrats yet!”

They keep forgetting that there is a difference between being the Opposition Party and the Party in Charge.

As long as Obama was around, they had him as their excuse for not getting shit done.

Now that they're in charge, people will expect them to get shit done, and will be mad as hell once they realize that the only stuff they want to get done is literally shit.

I just hope we last to the point that the next Democrat has a chance to fix it (and that they actually can).
